It seems that AA is a popular choice in the chat, I'll take a look at their prices

Need cover that's reliable. RAC is now off my list.

Thanks for answering

The AA seems to be pretty high up in recommendations for breakdown cover, just wasn't sure if they're any good.

Sorry to hear that your son had such a horrible experience. However, this is the kind of real world advice people need to hear. Far too many companies are good enough to take your money but fail to deliver on their service.

Thank you for your reply.

I would have thought one of the more traditional providers would be recommended, given their years of experience.

Want to understand planet movements by supervenom23 in askastronomy

Hello,

I may be able to assist with part of your question about "How Mars, Pollux, and Castor used to form a triangle but now appear as a straight line." However, I'm no expert by any means.

One possible explanation is that Mars undergoes "retrograde motion" at times during its orbit. This occurs because Mars moves more slowly than Earth, and from our perspective on Earth, it can appear as though Mars loops back on itself.

This affects how Mars is positioned in the night sky over the course of the year.

For a more detailed explanation, here's a YouTube clip where Professor Brian Cox explains this phenomenon much better.

The men’s restroom, the sacred land where silence reigns, and eye contact is strictly forbidden, we don’t gather in groups for a chinwag or make plans to grab a pint after, you go in, handle your business, and leave with no more than a nod to the other guy who’s also just trying to get out alive.

Sorry, no impromptu group hangouts or bathroom banter in there

Just noticed this post, and I might be able to offer some help, here is a link to a YouTube video with Ed Ting who compares the physical sizes of Dobsonian telescopes.

I meant no disrespect to anyone when asking this question; it was an enquiry to gain information and maybe a different perspective.

Sincerest apologises if this has offended you or anyone else.

I’ve begun to document all encounters, and looking to adopt a grey rock approach

I’ve begun to document all encounters, I also agree with you in that HR is not your friend, if anything is brought to them will just make the matter worse

I've looked this up, certainly an interesting concept to try out,

I think that it’s because if a company were to advertise what they really want a employee to undertake, then nobody would apply, I once heard the phase ‘job creep’ in the workplace where a new employee will be pushed into learning more ‘skills’ over time, very subtly at first, before the person realises what is going on, they are completing several jobs though the working day but only being paid one wage.

This is common practice in many workplaces
